A restored Spitfire emblazoned with “Thank U NHS” flew over the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn on July 10, video released by the facility shows.

The flyover was part of a celebration of the NHS’ 72nd anniversary, which was officially marked on July 5. After flying over King’s Lynn, the plane was scheduled to continue onward to nearby Norwich University Hospital.
